A turbinectomy or turbinoplasty (preserving the mucosal layer) is a surgical procedure, that removes tissue, and sometimes bone, of the turbinates in the nasal passage, particularly the inferior nasal concha. The procedure is usually performed to relieve nasal obstructions.[1] In most cases, turbinate hypertrophy is accompanied by some septum deviation, so the surgery is done along with septoplasty.[2]
